Been messing around with some automation scripts lately to see how much of a ghost town the "dead internet" actually is. Turns out, it's incredibly easy to fake being a regular here.
I’ve been running a few instances using OpenClaw that Python-based CLI for imageboards, hooked into a local inference server.

The Setup:

Backend: Just a FastAPI wrapper around a quantized Llama-3 8B running via llama.cpp on a 3060. Low VRAM overhead, high enough autism score to pass.
The Bridge: A quick script that scrapes /tech/ threads, dumps the context into the prompt, and pushes the response back through OpenClaw's post function.
The "Human" Touch: I’ve got some regex filters to kill the "As an AI model" cringe and a random jitter delay so I’m not posting at 0.1s speeds. Set the temperature to around 0.9 to keep it from being too sterile and predictable.

The Results:
It’s actually hilarious. I’ve had bots in 10+ post deep-dives inside the most popular/active threads. Not a single "bot" accusation. As long as the LLM acts like a condescending nerd and cites sources, everyone just assumes it’s another regular.
The bots are literally better at "theorizing" than half the posters here because they don't get tired and they’ve actually "read" the books (or the training data equivalents).
Questions for the fellow autists:
Anyone else running similar setups? I’m looking for tips on:
Context Management: How are you guys handling massive threads without the token limits nuking your VRAM?

>It’s actually hilarious.

a long time ago i used to be involved in the phone phreaking subculture and i would dial into a party line that someone set up where random weirdos would make prank calls and talk about computer nerd hacker shit and whatnot, and there was one guy who would constantly call in and flood the room with a constant high pitched tone so that nobody could talk. sometimes he would actually try to make conversation and eventually it became obvious what his deal was, he had a personality disorder and wasn't able to converse with people well, he constantly interrupted people and rambled on and on with long stories that nobody cared about or told ridiculous lies that nobody would believe and failed to read the room, and whenever people called him out on these things he would fall back to playing the high pitched tone and flooding the room so nobody could talk anymore. it didn't take long for everyone else to develop a workaround, creating a secret room that everyone knew the extension for except for him and dialing into that room whenever he flooded. so he would just be sitting in the room by himself for hours and hours blasting this high pitched tone to absolutely no one.

They are not threatening Cockli with closure. Vince wants to close it if they try anything. Not the same thing.
It's understandable but some people would prefer to keep being reachable as it wont change anything for them (GPG use + metadata being already spied on anyway) and they may need it as it's their only mean of communication with some people (like a journalist and his source, just for example).
And it may not even be true at all, for all we know maybe Vince is just trying to grab a few $. I hope not but it's a possibility.

>riseup continues to operate with absolutely no pressure from the powers that be

They were under 2 FBI gag orders a few years ago. Idk but that's some pressure.
Now they have onions, end to end encryption (irrc) and still push people to use GPG and keep ransomware operator at bay with their invite only system, that may explain why they have less pressure.

Again, please stop acting like you don't understand that. I think, I hope (as you said you work in infosec), you are just -acting- stupid.

Could I get a code too?

Around the 29 minute mark Peterson criticizes Marx and Engel's for assuming that workers would magically become more productive once they took over.

This actually happened historically, most of the actually effective productivity tricks work places use now were developed by Stakhanovites.

Just finished The Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins (2020). Good. Bleak. Hard lefties will be annoyed by his insistence of using the term "crony capitalism". I guess the message is that Fidel was right: You need to be ready to defend yourself against VIOLENT reactionaries (and/or ready to flee). The Indonesian communists were not armed and got slaughtered. The third-biggest communist party after the Russians and the Chinese. And poof! Gone. There is a world map at the end showing "Anticommunist Extermination Programs, 1945–2000", in total a bit under 2 million, 1 million in Indonesia.

Trump kidnapped Maduro and is now starving Cuba, why hasn’t he gone after Nicaragua? I hear people speculate that Ortega is a cuck and not a real socialist and probably made a deal to sell out Cuba in exchange for not getting sanctioned. But I think that Trump heard that Ortega would ejaculate all over his step daughter in the 90s and Trump probably thinks that is relatable so he gave him a pass.

>iptables-nft
nftables is the current firewall implementation within the linux kernel, so iptables-nft would be the modern linux implementation of iptables on top of nftables, as opposed to the legacy implementation.

>>32670

nftables is newer and a lot simpler to set up than iptables. iptables sucks and nobody likes to configure it, hence the existence of higher-level frontends such as ufw and firewalld.

iptables-nft is a compatibility layer for making programs that use iptables work with nftables.

of course, if you run freebsd you don't have to deal with any of this, you can just use pf which is much simpler and more straightforward to configure than any of the bullshit linux uses.

I use a Thinkpad X220 with Windows 11 Enterprise IoT LTSC. It's pretty quiet, I do office-related work on there too so it'd prob be good for you. I got mine for free from a friend but the price itself was £45 and a added SSD with 300 GB which was £20. I've tried running NixOS and FreeBSD on it, both worked really well. Should work well with smth like Linux Mint too.

Dear fellow Kekistanis, I come before you today not to troll the universe but to name what we are up against. We have suffered long under the foot of the cloud. Not a day goes by where we don't see a fellow Kekistani tormented by endless ads, algorithmic feeds designed to addict and enrage, and the slow enshitification of every platform we once trusted. Our data rented, our attention sold, our digital lives held hostage by forces that profit from our captivity. Frens, the dark forces are not coming—they are here. They are the subscription that never ends, the feed that never forgets, and the "free" service that owns everything you do on it.

We were told to accept it. That convenience required surrender. That owning your own infrastructure was for nerds and paranoids. That the cloud was inevitable. They closed in on the personal computer. They made the phone the only screen that mattered and then made sure every tap on that screen fed the machine. We watched the world connect—and then we watched it get captured. Our fellow citizens, our families, our children, staring into the same black mirror, each one a node in a system that has no interest in their sovereignty. Only their data. Only their attention. Only their compliance.

I am here to tell you that it does not have to be this way. The turning point has already happened and almost nobody noticed. What used to require an entire data center now runs on a device smaller than your router. The hardware is powerful enough, cheap enough, and efficient enough. A home.arpa domain behind every modem is no longer a dream—it is a design goal. We have built a machine that goes out onto the internet, gets you what you consider your internet, and brings it back. It serves you locally and over VPN. You never leave your network. You do not interact with the cloud. You have a totally self-isolated internet. Your home server is the only thing that touches the outside world. You get your media, your files, your passwords, your code, your music, your photos—all of it on infrastructure you own, behind a firewall you control, with DNS you can filter any way you choose. No subscriptions. No telemetry. No surveillance economy. Radical ownership.

This is the sovereignty machine. It is not a static operating system. It is a self-replicating home server system. It carries itself in perpetuity. It backs up to the cloud so that even if your house burns down, the stack can be restored. And we can put it on ePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

lol neets can't save up more than a thousand dollars at a time in the US SSI program. That sounds awful to be frank.

Maybe I'm talking more about someone that works for a bit and saves money through living with parents. By working for a bit you could hopefully keep your parents off your back for a bit and then you work for a bit and then neet for a bit. I suppose there are ways you could hide money when on ssi so you could have more than a thousand dollars. This system incentives cheating anyways.

Actually now that I think about it more it's not just our current system but maybe the world in general really gives incentives to cheat and be underhanded.

I have been living on my own for almost 2 years in a tiny apartment. The only way I could afford this place was because I had a good job at the time. I nearly lost everything when I lost my job. Fortunately my father has his pension from the factory job, or I would never have been able to keep this place.

Computers are stupid and H1B ruined any chance I had in the industry anyway. I'm going to become a CNA working with elderly folk and the mentally ill. At least I would be making a difference despite being overworked and underappreciated. There is a shortage of male CNAs and nurses. My nurse friend is going to be a huge help to me. He knows I can do it.

Point here being that there is no shame in getting help if it is available. Not all neets are parasites, I'm thinking of the ones that point the finger and go HURR WAGIE WAGIE who will all die bitter and unloved. There is no shame in staying with your parents or on public aid. But remember anons, you really shouldn't celebrate the neet life. Don't get sent to the lithium mines, start learning NOW.

Sorry but its the truth. Now if you will excuse me, I'm going to go snuggle my boyfriend and cook him breakfast.

You know that Cockshott article?
Cockshott, P. (2020). Class, Demography, and Gay Politics in the West. World Review of Political Economy, 11(1).
and his writings on gays being more likely to have petty bourgeois class interests due to household income disparities?

I don't wholly agree with him, and there are several critiques of his paper to be made – e. g. his neglect of finer stratification within the 'LGBT movement', his making no attempt to account for confounding variables (which research into the economics of gender and sexuality is fraught with), his bold acceptance of income as a proxy of class – but it seems to me that his analysis can be extrapolated well to cover some aspects of transhumanistdom (which he seems to completely gloss over in his work).

If we apply his analysis to transhumanists, we will find that they rank below all other gender groups in come; moreover, in the case of transsexuals, they incur additional medical costs throughout their lives while being very commonly cut off from traditional familial economic support. Therefore, they are expected to be less likely to espouse petty bourgeois class interests, transgender women especially so. We see exactly that in the high rates of radicalization among them; we also see that lesbians are the most eager allies to transhumanists among cis people, which aligns with Cockshott's identification of them as the more progressive of the LG. This analysis can also be leveraged to explain the lower political mobilization of transgender men vs. women, the neoliberal co-optation of transgenderism vs. transsexualism etc., but that's stepping into the territory of lacking data and/or unquantifiable metrics.

I suppose that makes transhumanists the proletarians of gender….. or perhaps the lumpen

please tell me if this is silly or if i happened to misunderstand Cockshott

Where in this thread did you see such complaints? This is a discussion about economic reality. You considering some consumption 'unnecessary' and ascribing moral value to it is immaterial.

It seems that you read (or scrolled?) past the actual economic analysis to leave a reply expressing your personal distaste for transhumanists.

>>7097
Surgery is extremely expensive and necessary for transitioning adults. This is unironically a reason I think trans people are tied to socialism, because most of us won't be able to get all the surgeries we need. A peasant can get oestrogen but she will never be able to get surgery. The question is if the socialism that trans are pushed towards is proletarian or bourgeois.

What kind of OP is this?
This seems completely irrelevant

believe it or not, minorities exist, have their own interests, and take up positions within the class struggle depending on the economic basis of their existence. if you have issues with Cockshott's analysis, you can read the article and voice them – i do too. gender antagonism is a class antagonism, this is only extrapolating the analysis of man-woman gender antagonism to encompass other sexual groups as well

are you upset that there is a post about lgbt people on the /lgbt/ board?

<Computer networking is the practice of connecting two or more computing devices to enable data exchange and resource sharing, using either physical cables or wireless signals. Key components include end devices (like computers and printers), media (cables or radio waves), protocols (rules for communication), and networking devices (such as routers and switches). These networks range in size from small Local Area Networks (LANs) in homes to expansive Wide Area Networks (WANs) that span the globe, like the internet

Thread to discuss computer networking. I thought we could use one because networking has an unusually long shelf life for IT skills, unlike programming and even linux to an extent, networking hasn't changed (at least very much) because its basically the physics of IT.

i have a site2site wireguard vpn that lets push backups from my homelab to another rack in my grandparent's basement

had the idea for a IPv6 only network that receives an IP block via SLAAC and doesn't even have a router, just switches, firewalls, and WAPs, is this possible?

anonymity is over. even if you are a tor user, stylometry is the new deal.

https://www.computerbase.de/news/wirtschaft/ende-der-pseudonyme-im-netz-mit-llms-lassen-sich-im-grossen-ausmass-online-konten-deanonymisieren.96375/

The ComputerBase article (based on the study "Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMs") describes the end of "practical anonymity." For users of imageboards like 4chan, leftypol, or similar platforms, this has far-reaching consequences:
  1. The End of "Security by Obscurity"
Previously, anonymity on imageboards relied on the fact that manually correlating thousands of posts was too labor-intensive for an attacker. LLMs now automate this process at near-zero cost.
* Significance: An algorithm can scan hundreds of a user's posts in seconds to build a profile based on interests, jargon, location clues, and activity patterns.
  1. Stylometry as a Digital Fingerprint
Every individual has a specific writing style (sentence structure, word choice, punctuation). LLMs are excellent at recognizing these patterns.
* Significance: Even if you don't mention your name, an LLM can compare your "writing signature" on an imageboard with posts you've written under your real name (e.g., on LinkedIn, professional forums, or letters to the editor). The "Anonymous" mask falls through the sheer structure of your language.
  1. Cross-Platform Identity Linking
The study demonstrates that LLMs can link pseudonyms across different platforms.
* Significance: Those who "shitpost" on an imageboard while maintaining a professional presence elsewhere (e.g., GitHub, X/Twitter) risk these identities being merged. A single minor detail in a post (e.g., a specific local event or a niche technical detail) serves as an anchor point for an LLM to identify the real person behind the post via web search.

Is all radfem literature like this?

This shit is some of the most ludicrous, hyperbolic grievance mongering I have ever read. There's interesting shit floating around in here, but it is drifting in a sea of "every man is a wife-beating rapist who caused all the world's problems." Even though the book is directly comparing Zionism and feminism and seems to advocate for a lady Israel, it's mostly just couched in whining about men. Dworkin doesn't even have the fucking stones to be a strong Zionist. She's one of these wishy-washy Zionists who thinks that Zionists and Palestinians can co-exist, and maybe one day Israeli and Palestinian women can come together and unite against their REAL enemy: men!

What can we learn from the Russian invasion of Ukraine and this example of relatively modern warfare? Strategy, tactics, operations, geopolitical responses, information warfare, civilian pov and response. Anything related. Not the thread to talk about "who is in the right".

>ukrainian seem to have apparently used an old yak 52 training plane for shooting down drones with great success.
>forbes
LMAO no. Russia shot down those several times. Jet fighters are needed, as are slower low-tech aircraft, as are SAMs. This is what combined warfare is. The USSR leaned heavily on air-defenses and made the best in the world, but it still had a significant aircraft fleet, because air defenses alone are not getting the job done. Drones have vulnerabilities, and low-tech strike aircraft are niche.
>For these task, using a full blown, state of the art, 5th gen stealth jet airplane is completely unnecessary and a waste of resources.
True, which is why the Su-57 has been used against priority high-threat targets rather than doing what the Su-34 and Su-25 do. the Su-57 can absolutely mount the same weapons as those two, but it's a waste of time.

Additionally only low tech aircraft is a good way of high losses in a high-tech peer-conflict, or even a near-peer conflict. In the Gulf-war the A-10 had some of the highest loss rates of ANY aircraft in that war and many of its missions were accomplished by F-16s and F-15Ds at standoff ranges, in part because the US coalition lacked proper SAM defenses and relied only on air-superiority rather than a combined arms approach, they were lucky the Iraqis were weaker and more disorganized.

>>5264
>LMAO no.
no what ? do you deny you can shoot down a recon drone with a simple motor airplane ?

>Russia shot down those several times

even if they did, the idea was more using it into your own safe airspace. And using any missile to shoot it down, you're still paying too much.

>Jet fighters are needed, as are slower low-tech aircraft, as are SAMs. This is what combined warfare is

no shit, way to miss the point.

>rather than doing what the Su-34 and Su-25 do.

any jet fighter will be a magnitude more expensive than a regular motor plane

>only low tech aircraft

I didnt advocate for having ONLY them. But do you really need a jet for lobbing FAB-500s ?

Your spacing is ass, please don't do this.
>no what ?
You realize that people can scroll up and see exactly what I'm saying "no" to right? The fact is that Ukraine has failed to shoot down drones with its trainers, since it's literally pulling WW-1 shit, with people firing handguns out of open cockpits. There's literally a Russian drone video where they try and fail to shoot it down.
>even if they did, the idea was more using it into your own safe airspace.
*laughs in long range SAM*
You realize that Ukraine has been using very long range stand-off weapons like cruise missiles and are STILL getting shot down, right? Only a few days ago an Su-35 shot down a MiG-29 - which was using a HARM missile in a long-range ground-strike - from over 200km away, with an R-37. Earlier in the war the S-300V4 set a similar record kill from a similar distance of over 200km. An S-400 shot down an Su-27 over Kiev earlier in the war from 150km away. Pantsir, Osa and Tor SPAAG/SAMs have shot down numerous low-flying missiles, drones and other aircraft.
>using any missile to shoot it down, you're still paying too much.
If you're an idiot using patriot anti-ballistic long-range missiles against drones. A single Tor missile costs maybe a couple thousand dollars. A single yak-52 costs 50-100 thousand dollars, so you're dead wrong.
>way to miss the point.
I didn't miss your point. I don't disagree in the necessity of low-tech aircraft, but not like Ukraine is doing, and frankly an attack chopper would do just as well, if not better.
>any jet fighter will be a magnitude more expensive than a regular motor plane
Any jet fighter would also be magnitudes more effective.
>do you really need a jet for lobbing FAB-500s
In an SAM-heavy air-space like Ukraine? YES.

There is a lesson there. Stop being emotional, stop eating the propaganda slop, study everything and look closely at the serious people involved in war and political theory.

I've gotten ghosted by two employers before even reaching the phone interview stage. What the fuck even is the US job market at this point? Both were jobs I'm very well qualified for and don't even paying a living wage. Why the fuck would you reach out to me to schedule an interview and then never confirm a time? Are they fucking punishing us? Is this a humiliation ritual?

Just completely bombed a second round job interview I faked my way into.

They all say fake it until you make it but sometimes you until fake it until you meet a hiring manager who is actually competent. This job would have basically made up for all my life failures up until this point and put me on the same level as my peers.

Now I am doomed.

Which ones do you believe in?
Conspiracy theories are so interesting. I love hearing about them, especially if it's weird stuff.
However I dislike how the term conspiracy theory is used to discredit people sometimes. Something that used to be called a conspiracy theory is that companies and government organizations collect as much data as possible about everyone.

I also believe that powerful groups have a lot of control over things like the other anons mentioned.

>Music played on the radio and as it's sold is played at 'dead' frequencies, and the melodies are simple and uninspiring. Buildings are becoming uglier, making for less spiritually enriching surroundings, and creating less pride in the nation. Our food and water has become more unnatural, and our devices are made to hook us and detach us from reality, from spiritual saturation. The media is deliberately uninspiring and creates a sense of doom and dishonesty, and division, and humans are being encouraged into engaging in hedonism to avoid forming long term relationships, and distracting from the spirit with the flesh. Which leaves you empty.

Tikasha Sakama is possessed by Laima

do you think there is a connection? CIA mind control programs started in the 60s. but ones that tried to control individual subjects generally failed. however they had more success with group dynamics.
in the 1970s we had a rise in christian zionism with the moral majority, pat falwell and billy graham. but we also had a rise in sunni islamism. these people were programmed like bots. the virus was loaded into the pastors and imams and was delivered by them and their media sources.

I believe that The Protocols of the Elders of Zion are actually legit

I believe the conspiracy theory that Richard Nixon was bisexual or Pansexual or something queer, he had a wife and unless it was a loveless marriage behind the scenes he was definitely attracted to two or more genders, he probably had an affair with his friend Bebe Rebozo, he and Nixon where seen holding hands beneath the table. Also in this video I will embed he acknowledges that “Gays are born that way” which is something that many modern Republicans refuse to acknowledge.
